What is Reddit's opinion of ReText?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Not sure if it has the hotkey support you want, but I've always liked ReText for its preview capabilities.

It's a bit heretical to mention, but lately, I've gotten to use Visual Studio Code for almost all text editing I do, it might suit you too.

Consider Retext. I use it to write documentation using Markdown. It has neat "Live Preview" feature that allow you to instantly see rendered results of the formatting you use.

The issue isn't themes or Markdown-extensions. The issue is lack of basic keyboard shortcuts. Like in most editors you can delete a line by Ctrl + K or Ctrl + Shift + K (vscode). This is just one example. Things like ability to move lines, duplicate lines etc. are essential to me. Basic text editing functionality is what is missing in Retext.

Best i can think of is using some gui tool to render the markdown after writing it and copying that out. i found this tool ReText which works fine for me ( it's also in the arch repos)

There is also a command line tool glow that could work but i have not tested it
